No, you aren't wrong. $250,000 will be contributed to the churches fund in
anticipation of album sales. You can check out the following articles on the
subject.

Why the confusion? Your article mentioned Kirk Franklin was investing in
Church's restaurant. There was no mention of Bono in the article. Rich folk
tend to invest all that money. Kinda like U2 investing in leisure centres for
10-pin bowling and Quasar, a laser shooting game that they lost money on.
Anyway, the Church's chicken thing has been on Kirk's agenda for quite a
while. Radio djs had a field day with it when it was in the planning stages
months ago.
